Ruh roh. Looking like a hung parliament in the Australian election.

I was just reading about that.
From the story I was looking at:

Gillard, a Welsh-born immigrant who grew up in the southern Australian city of Adelaide, acknowledged before polls closed that Labor could lose its entire eight-seat majority in the 150-seat House of Representatives. Labor won 83 seats at the last election in 2007.

Issues vary across the large and diverse country, but asylum seekers, health care and climate change are hot topics nationwide. Another issue brought to the forefront Saturday was the presence of the Australian military in Afghanistan, where two soldiers were killed the day before. The government and opposition both support Australia’s military commitment to Afghanistan, where 20 Australian troops have now died.

I found the “issues” list interesting, as it so closely resembles the ones here.
